Chapter 127: Campfire

  Can't retain happy moments

  Can't see all the joys and sorrows of the world

  Gazing at the receding back figure in the distance

  We gaze at each other from a distance of inches

  We think of each other at the end of the horizon

  Always believe true love can break through numerous obstacles

  Always believe that every story can have a perfect ending

  But dear one

  Who is the brilliant one in your story?

  Who is the unchanging melody in your song?

  Frey's singing voice was sorrowful and mournful, the unique infectiousness of the elf's song made us all immerse ourselves in that faint sadness. The whole world seemed to be sad because of her singing, quietly leaving only the sound of the wind gently swaying the leaves. When we woke up from her singing, Frey had already left the bonfire and walked into her own tent.

  "This Freya is really something, singing those sorrowful songs and making people's good mood suddenly turn melancholic. I hate it, whatever, I'm going to sleep." Xilu vigorously rubbed her eyes, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and also turned around and crawled into her own tent.

  "Ai Wen shook his head helplessly and said: "This sister of mine, has really been spoiled by me, too willful, her emotions are all on her face.""

  I smiled and said: "Actually, Xilu is also quite lovely, genuine, not pretending, pretty good."

  Aidan glanced at me, picked up a branch and threw it into the blazing fire. He stared at the bonfire for a while before asking, "Ayrick, in your heart, which girl do you love the most?"

  When I heard Evan's words, I was stunned and said: "The most loved one? In fact, I don't know myself. When I was a child, the one I loved most was a girl in the village named Serene. I thought that if I had her love, I would have a perfect life. But when I knew she was in love with Dabo, I actually didn't feel anything in my heart. At this time, I realized that my feelings for her were probably more familial affection.

  I chuckled to myself and continued, "When I was with Sulina, I thought she was the girl I loved the most. But later on, I realized that wasn't true. The reason we were together was probably because she needed me, and in that situation, she didn't have a choice. She loves her kingdom and people more, she's a queen who does great things, and to her, marriage and love are probably just tools. She couldn't be the type of girl I like."

  I raised my hand, and a small flame on the tip of my finger transformed into a beautiful girl dancing gracefully. I stared at the flame spirit, saying blankly: "I deeply loved Freya, and I believed she loved me too. I once thought she would be the one to accompany me for life, but what happened? I received news of her death instead. I was heartbroken and killed an entire army of dark spirits stationed near her village in revenge. But this time, I saw her standing alive right in front of me. No matter what reason brought her back, my heart remained extremely calm without any ripples. I tried to convince myself that Freya was still alive, so I should feel happy or angry - happy that the one I loved was still alive, and angry about being deceived. But there was nothing. Why? Maybe it's because my heart had died along with her? I don't know; I'm very confused..."

  Aidan looked at me, took a sip of the soup and said: "What about Xilu? What do you think, I feel that her attitude towards you has become somewhat strange recently, which makes me very worried. I always feel that you are not suitable for her."

  With a "whoosh", the dancing flames suddenly dispersed from my fingertips, turning into a wisp of blue smoke. I blew out a breath, dispersing that last wisp of blue smoke, and smiled, saying: "Actually, Xilu is a good girl, she's been through a lot with you and me, and has helped me out quite a bit. You, as her brother, think I'm not suitable for her, so why do you keep throwing her at me?"

  "Ai Wen hummed and said, 'If I could control Xi Lu's affairs, that would be great. But she insisted on following you herself, what can I do? Let's not talk about this for now, tell me your true feelings towards her.'"

  I thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I quite like her, but to say that I've fallen in love with her, it's probably not to that extent yet. I've always felt that Xilu is such a great girl, she should have a much better guy than me marry her, I don't want to hold her back."

  Evan downed the soup in one gulp, let out a long sigh and said: "I'm not a nanny as an elder brother, my sister's affairs should be left to her own choice, just go with the flow, from now on I won't interfere with her choices anymore, even if she finally chooses you, this scoundrel, I'll accept it."

  "Hey, Evan, we've been friends for so long, don't you know my character? I'm a great guy, how could I possibly take advantage of your sister? Don't devalue me to the point where I'm not even worth a penny!"

  Evan burst out laughing and hooked his arm around my shoulder, saying: "Alright, alright, I know you're the best, so the excellent Alec Magic Master will take the night watch tonight, I'm going to sleep."

  As soon as Evan finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards the tent. I said indignantly: "You assassin is not worthy of night, making a magician like me stay here to keep watch, isn't that too much?"

  Evan shook his head and waved at me, saying: "The two girls sleeping in the tents over there are related to you. If you don't keep watch, who will? It's really strange."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Evan flashed into the tent and ignored me completely.

  I sighed, silently cursing Evan ten thousand times in my heart as I began to clean up the remnants of their campsite. After finishing, I set up several traps around the perimeter and cast a few warning spells. It wasn't until after a long while that I sat back down beside the bonfire, staring blankly at the flames as I waited for dawn's arrival.

  The night grew darker, and the sounds of various wild beasts came from the forest. Ten steps away, everything was completely invisible. Tonight was another starless night, and I, alone, gradually sank into this inky darkness. Loneliness grew wildly in my heart like weeds, unstoppable and irrepressible.
